Chapter 97: Only she kept it
Now people in the village are saying that An Jiuyue sold a child for food.
An Jiuyue: "..."
Where did she go to town with her child, she clearly drove an ox cart, okay?
"Uncle Li Zheng, I didn't go with the child today, I came back from town with the child," she said.
"what?"
Li Zheng didn't seem to understand her words, and was a little stunned.
"Does it make any difference?"
"Call."
An Jiuyue let out a sigh of relief and looked helplessly at the two in front of her.
"I went to town today, originally to buy some food, but who knew that the back basket had just been placed on the ox cart, and I wanted to buy a Chinese cabbage to satisfy my cravings. When I turned around, there was another baby in the back basket.
I couldn't find the child's parents, and I had no choice but to leave the child directly, so I had to bring it back. "
"Ah? Is there such a thing?"
When Li Zheng heard this, he was stunned. Didn't he just throw the child to An Jiuyue and let her keep it.
Is this how the town has become now?
"How not?"
Aunt Ju was not too surprised, but sighed lightly.
"I also went to the town the day before yesterday, and I heard people in the town say that now many people are putting children in other people's arms on the street because they can't support them," she said.
"This...this...hey, how can this be?"
Li Zheng was speechless and sighed heavily.
But when I think about it, I don't think it's strange anymore. After all, I just had a flood of water, and I can't even get enough to eat. How can I still have surplus food for my children?
"In the grain shop in the town, the grain has already been sold out. Originally, the children were also collected by the Yaxing, but the key is that the children are too young and ignorant and noisy, and the Yaxing has also received better, and dare not do it again. collected.
Those who are too poor to eat really have no choice but to catch people and send their children. I guess it is the child's parents who watch Jiuyue driving an ox cart. You are still someone who can afford Chinese cabbage. I feel that I will not starve to death if I give you the child. "
Aunt Ju has been to the town and knows some things, so she guessed.
"Then Jiuyue, do you mean you want to keep that child too?" she asked.
"What can I do if I don't keep it, Aunt Ju, I can't lose my child, it's a life after all." An Jiuyue said helplessly.
Yes, if she doesn't keep it, where will the child go? If the parents can't find it, the government will not care if it is sent to the government. As for her father's virtue, she might even sell it directly to the tooth shop to earn money. A few taels of silver!
So this child can only be raised by her.
"Uncle Li Zheng, I have to trouble you about this. Go ask the patriarch to see if all three children can be recorded in the family tree." She said.
"Okay, I'll ask you." Li Zheng responded with a single sigh.
"However, Jiuyue, this matter may not be easy to handle. The two little ones are seen by the big guys, but they can be handled, but the one you brought back today, I'm afraid you still have to... silver."
He still told An Jiuyue first, so as not to complain when he got it.
"Okay, I see." An Jiuyue responded.
When Zheng'er and Rong'er were on the genealogy, they spent 5 taels of silver. Now, she wants to spend another 5 taels of silver. It should be almost the same, right?
It's not a problem that Hua Yinzi can solve. It's a big deal. She will sell a wild boar again.
Anyway, there are still several in the space, so I'm not afraid that the money will not be enough.
